Everything has a cognitive process. If Shen Hao had not used hundreds of supervisors under his command as evidence in the Chinese army's large tent, the people present at the time would not have taken his remarks about boiling water seriously, and would most likely have concluded that he was a "nonsense person." Quibbling.
Even the doctors on the front line here don't believe that boiling the water in the river will not affect the disease caused by floating corpses, let alone the ordinary soldiers below.
The consular doctor at one of the military stations was pressed to the ground and hit with military sticks, and he screamed very loudly. It is said that when he screamed, he would not be easily injured by the sticks to the abdominal cavity, but if he suppressed it, it would easily leave hidden wounds. The punishment for the rest of the doctors was halved, and they each received fifteen military sticks. No one in the back could escape.
The officer in charge of the military station did the same, and he had thanked Chen Zifang just now, because Chen Zifang clearly said that he would not report this incident back. But only this once.
On the other side were large pots of boiling water. Chen Zifang took the lead and poured three bowls in a row. The water in them was boiled and came from the river outside the military station.
"The water in the river outside is living water. You can't drink it directly if there is a corpse floating in it, but you won't be afraid after boiling it. From now on, you can boil water according to the method I just mentioned. After boiling, let it cool down and drink it. Even diarrhea will be solved for you. It’s cured! Remember! It must be boiled, it’s useless if it’s just boiled!”
Chen Zifang was able to order the chief officer here to be beaten, which was a status symbol in the eyes of the soldiers. Soldiers all follow the crowd and are brave. When they see someone taking the lead and drinking first, they naturally remove most of their doubts. Besides, if it’s useless, who would dare to let people drink water that will make them sick? If a plague breaks out, anyone can escape.
So some soldiers who had already been chapped by the lack of water immediately took out their bowls and scooped water from the pot under the leadership of the commander.
I took a sip and found it was a bit hot. It tasted like drinking cold water, but I had to blow it before drinking, which was more troublesome.
"Put the cleaned gauze in boiling water and boil it for an hour, then dry it for later use. This can reduce the occurrence of pus filling the wound."
Shen Hao saw more than just a few problems. Even things that were normal in Chen Zifang's eyes were all flaws in his eyes. However, he had his own considerations and would not speak easily unless he couldn't hold it back.
For example, when Shen Hao saw that the gauze wrapped around the wounds of the wounded was dirty, he simply washed them and wrapped them again. How could this be done? Do you think people don't die quickly enough or something?
He originally had a big gash on his back and managed to survive, but he would not be willing to accept it if he died of inflammation of the wound in the end.
Inflammation and inflammation Shen Hao couldn't explain clearly, and he didn't know how to talk about it. He could only use the term "pus filling" that everyone here knew. Before the pus is filled, the whole body will usually feel warm. However, many seriously injured people will be directly taken away by the inflammation and fever caused by the infection before the wound is filled with pus.
Chen Zifang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Hao with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Shen, this is no joke!"
"Shen is not joking. Although this method cannot eliminate it, it can definitely reduce the risk of pus filling."
"What's the point?"
"I don't know, it's just picking up people's wisdom. But I guess the principle should be similar to "drinking boiled water."" Shen Hao himself only "knows" but does not "understand". It is impossible for him to explain medical things. So I can only prevaricate. Fortunately, Chen Zifang is not a person who gets to the bottom of things and pays more attention to practical results.
After thinking about it for a while, boiling gauze would not do any harm to the wounded anyway, so it was just a matter of trying it out. So we found 20 seriously injured people in the military station. We first cleaned the wounds carefully, applied healing medicine, and then wrapped them with gauze soaked in boiling water for a long time.
"You must, you must take good care of these twenty wounded people, and handle everything according to the steps I told you before. You must give me a summons every day, and remember not to miss any details. Do you understand?"
The consular doctor of the military station who received a beating nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know the inside story, he guessed what Chen Zifang was trying and didn't dare to neglect it.
So Chen Zifang and Shen Hao stayed at the first military station for three days and then set off again. The next stop was the military station where something happened not long ago: Yushi.
It was already three days later when we arrived at Yushi. The group of people were shocked by the appearance of the Yushi Soldier Station. Compared with the previous military station, the appearance of Yushi Military Station was much miserable.
Although the tall wall has been repaired, traces of damage can be clearly seen, and the burnt marks on the wall are still clearly visible. The large tomb at the entrance is still new, and a large stone tablet next to it clearly writes what the people who are buried here have experienced. He also told those who came after him that the place of life and death was at his feet.
The situation is similar to the situation at the previous military depot. People here are also short of water, and they also don't believe the advice from the general manager's office about drinking boiled water.
Chen Zifang is not polite either. He doesn't care whether the people here are heroes who lived their remaining lives after the war or meritorious soldiers. If you make a mistake, you are wrong. If you make a mistake, you should accept the punishment. After being beaten with a stick, he then performed a public performance of drinking boiled water, and at the same time taught everyone to boil water. Only after the final set of procedures did these people calm down about drinking boiled water.
In addition, good news came from the 20 seriously injured soldiers picked out by Chen Zifang at the previous military station. Only two of them died quickly after developing fever. The remaining eighteen are currently in good condition, and half of them have regained some consciousness and are no longer unconscious.
What does this mean? This shows that Shen Hao's "long-term soaking" method of treating wounds with gauze can really help reduce the possibility of pus filling in trauma. At the same time, it also supports the explanation of boiling water theory in terms of wounds. It is true that there are some invisible "poisons" that can invade the body through the "mouth", "wounds", etc., causing physical discomfort or disease. Boiling in water can destroy these "poisons"!
This is definitely a huge find! Even Chen Zifang seems to be sure that his name will appear immortally in medical or history books that will last forever...
So... every time Chen Zifang looked at Shen Hao, the latter felt frightened and his fists clenched.
After that, Shen Hao became silent again. No matter how exhausted Chen Zifang was, he just didn't speak. Just like that, another three days passed by. Shen Hao and Chen Zifang left half of the cavalry behind and continued walking eastward. There are no military stations in front, only a line of military strongholds.
"There are three first-line military villages in Jianchuan. The upper, middle and lower sections. There are 30,000 people stationed in the upper section, 20,000 people in the middle section, and 30,000 people in the lower section. The middle section is the center, and it is where we go to report first. General Cheng, the chief general on the Jianchuan side Right in the central military camp."
Chen Zifang rode his horse next to Shen Hao while telling Shen Hao about the upcoming itinerary. He knew that Shen Hao had just joined the army and didn't know much about people or rules, so he always talked to the front.
"Not far, right?"
"It's not far away. At our rate, we can reach the central military camp in the evening."
